Europe’s AI privacy context

European organisations face strict expectations around personal data, international transfers, and vendor risk. Cloud AI can be lawful with contracts — but architecture still matters.

Sovereign AI in practical terms

Control over where inference runs, who can see prompts, and how long data persists. Local-first defaults reduce accidental export of sensitive context.

GDPR-aligned product habits

Data minimisation, purpose limitation, clear controllers, and no silent cloud fallback. Privacy policy honesty for marketing sites and product telemetry.

Not legal advice

FAQ

Does local AI automatically make me GDPR compliant?
No single tool does. Process, legal basis, and documentation still apply. Local inference helps technically reduce transfer risk for model prompts.
Is S◉LOCK only for the EU?
Born in the EU; serious buyers worldwide who want local-first privacy are relevant. Legal availability depends on programme terms.
